Forward-compatibility with upcoming PKNCA release + slope selector fixes

 * `CRITxFL` now uses `""` instead of `"N"` when criterion is violated. `CRITx` shows the acceptance criterion with inverted operator (e.g. flag rule `R2ADJ < 0.7` produces `CRITx = "R2ADJ >= 0.7"`). `CRITxFL = "Y"` means criterion satisfied (#1332)
 
 ### NCA Calculations
+* `exclude_half.life` is now initialized to `NA` instead of `FALSE` (matching `include_half.life`), so manually selecting half-life points to include no longer errors with "Cannot both include and exclude half-life points for the same interval" under the development version of PKNCA
+* Include/exclude half-life conflict resolution now runs per profile instead of globally, so a standalone exclusion in one profile is no longer cleared when an unrelated profile has a selection (#1358)
 * Renal clearance (RENALCL) removed from direct PK calculations (inaccurate in PKNCA) — use ratio table instead (#781)
 * Multidose parameters (MRTMDO, MRTMDP, VSSMDO, VSSMDP, TAT) removed from direct calculations (#869)
 * Last dose interval end time extends to last observed sample instead of being cut off at tau (#1235)
